The Loophole
My latest story “The Loophole” is now available in issue 25 of the Nonbinary Review. Special thanks to the editors for making the process so easy and for paying their contributors a generous rate. Issue 25 was prohibition themed and so all of the stories, poems and art had to do with abstinence from alcohol.Continue reading “The Loophole”
The Arbitrator 4000
My story The Arbitrator 4000 has been published in Metastellar. What an honour to be published in one of the top sci-fi magazines on the market. Thank you to editor Marie Ginga for making the process so easy. The Arbitrator 4000 originally appeared in my self-published collection of stories “The Human Experience” and was instantlyContinue reading “The Arbitrator 4000”

Rejections (the better kind)
If you submit to literary journals, be prepared to be rejected. The more prestigious (and paying) magazines will only accept a small fraction of submissions (sometimes less than one percent). An overworked editor may receive hundreds of submissions and can only accept a handful for publication. Even if your story is great, chances are youContinue reading “Rejections (the better kind)”
Smokelong Quarterly
One of my favourite things about my recent excursion into writing has been perusing the different literary magazines. Some of the top publications can be somewhat dense or confusing; I’ve heard the term ‘academic jigsaw puzzle’ used to describe stories where it’s not entirely clear what’s happening. But certain publications find the right balance betweenContinue reading “Smokelong Quarterly”
Buddy’s New Friend

This story is told from Buddy’s perspective. It was fun crawling into the head ofContinue reading “Buddy’s New Friend”
